- Cook the jasmine rice in water until tender, then leave covered off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
- Mix the fish sauce and brown sugar, soy sauce, shallot, chilli, lime juice, toasted rice powder and some herbs to make the dipping sauce.
- Toss the cabbage, carrot and apple with some herbs and a little salt to make the slaw.
